Created for RSC #6. Okay, I have a confession to make here. This recipe is not entirely my own original creation. I was discussing the contest over the phone with Sushiman, and being a fairly decent cook himself (okay, an amazing cook), he started coming up with a recipe on his own. With a little tweaking by yours truly, I think we have come up with something wonderful together.... This can be cute little finger food to serve at a party, or part of a dessert plate. As an appetizer, leave out the powdered sugar. If serving as a dessert, bring it on!

SERVES 16 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

32 dried apricots
4 ounces finely ground cashews
2 ounces raisins
1/4 cup white wine
1 lemon, zest of
8 ounces cream cheese
1/2 cup powdered sugar (optional)
powdered sugar (for dredging)

Directions

1
Mix the cashews, raisins, white wine, lemon zest and cream cheese and powdered sugar until it forms a paste.
2
You can do this in the food processor to really mix everything together.
3
Take one apricot, and spread some of the cheese on it, nice and thick.
4
Cover with a second apricot.
5
Do this to make a total of 16 "sandwiches".
6
Sprinkle or roll in powdered sugar.

This is a fabulous recipe. If you don't want to stuff apricots, use this as a cake filling, it is very, very good. I used Monbazillac sweet white wine...next time I may use a creamy liquer, or Cointreau. Also, for part of the recipe, I used dried strawberries, and this was really, really good!

I had a hard time rating this. The filling is delicious. However putting it between 2 apricot is a bit much. After filling a couple I decide to butterfly the apricot and fill. A much nicer presentation Then some I rolled in flaked coconut. I did make only half the recipe. Used peach chardonnay. I did use the optional sugar in the mixture. The filling would be great as a dip for fresh cut apples, top French toast, a spread on toast or a filling in cakes and cookies.

My family found this to be a very interesting dish! The filling smelled wonderful while I was blending it. It made much more filling than I used last night. My package of apricots only made 12 sandwiches. So I bought some more apricots today so we can finish it off. I used Mediterrean apricots yesterday (because of the name), but today used CA grown - mmm... even better. The filling was also chilled today - and I think that was better also.
